Best Anime Openings/Endings – “Sorairo Days,” Shoko Nakagawa

For my last summer post describing much enjoyed openings and endings, my final song is “Sorairo Days”, the opening theme from Gurren Lagann. What I especially enjoy about this song, outside of the awesome chorus, is that both the opening sequence and lyrics change just as the show does. Whenever the story evolves or moves in a big way, so does the opening. I appreciate the fact that the opening acknowledges the events of the show, and the fact that the lyrics also change to accommodate it makes it all the more great. I’m posting the first version so as to avoid the major spoilers of Gurren Lagann, but this is definitely a show where it’s worth watching the opening throughout the whole thing to see how it changes alongside the anime. I hope you all enjoyed reading this series of posts – they were fun to write as well! From here on out I’ll be back to my usual biweekly posts about all the nerdy things I love.

This theme is catchy at all heck. That’s what makes it awesome. Anyways, me and a friend of mine watched this show up until You-Probably-Know-Who dies…. It was a sad moment. (Well, my friend was actually slightly annoyed at You-Know-Who but he was a cool person.) This opening/ending theme ties as my favorite alongside “Lie” from Fullmetal Alchemist.

I really enjoy this opening a lot, both for how catchy it is and how it evolves alongside the show. Hah hah, I was also annoyed with how loud You-Know-Who as well up until his death, and then I cried…But then the show gets super amazing after that! 😀 I don’t know if I have a number one favorite opening or ending, hence this series of articles, hah hah! They’re all too good. 😉

Objection Network

Objection Network is a pop culture extravaganza with a weekly podcast every Thursday at noon, daily Let's Play videos, and a bevy of blog posts for your enjoyment.

The current crew includes Chris and Shaun, who have been there since the beginning, and Michelle, who joined in 2014. We also have other contributors like Michaela who chip in from time to time.

We cover everything from video games, anime and movies to music, books and idiots in the news. And yes, everybody here loves Phoenix Wright, thank you for asking.

This whole thing was started as At the Buzzer in February 2011, the brainchild of three men desperate for attention. It’s slightly related to an old Flagstaff radio show from 2008, kinda like how Frasier was slightly related to Cheers. In other words, we're all getting old and it's a little depressing.

The gang talks about Kingdom Hearts in anticipation of the third game's long-overdue release, then rolls back the clock with an old friend in the This But segment. Also, Chris has a bone to pick with a name, Michelle says she likes to watch, and Shaun seeks an eternal rival for his life.

The gang takes their annual look at the best in pop culture of the previous year, including video games and movies (with TV and music still to come). Also, Chris puts Michelle in a box, Dave gets less credit than he deserves, Michelle does what is expected, and Shaun keeps everyone guessing.
